The old Taoist priest from the Taoist ancestral home wore old Taoist robes, had white hair and a childlike face, and could be more than a thousand years old. He told Ye Fan that Penglai might have a way to the outside world.
However, he also made it clear that the people on this fairy island hardly ever walk in the middle land, and it is rare to see them in hundreds of years, so it is difficult for outsiders to find them.
Penglai has been known as a fairyland since ancient times. It is a sacred mountain where immortals live in the sea. In ancient times, emperors among mortals often sent ships across the sea in order to seek the elixir of life.
Ye Fan's heart was moved when he heard the words, he expressed his gratitude, gave him some precious elixir, and talked a lot about his practice experience, and personally sent the old Taoist priest outside the mountain gate.
There is Kunlun on land, and three mountains in the sea. This saying has been handed down since ancient times, one of the three mountains is Penglai, which is the hometown of immortals.
The talented and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once built an artificial Taiye Pool in Ganquan Palace in order to pursue immortality and longevity, on which there is the rumored Penglai Fairy Mountain, which cost a lot of money.
The most famous one among them is naturally the First Emperor, who once ordered Xu Fu, an alchemist, to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea to seek immortals, and then he never returned, and the people know it.
Ye Fan thought about it carefully. Since he came back, he has traveled almost all over the ancient ashrams, but he has not found any ancient starry roads leading to the outside world. In ancient times, there were many great sages on the earth, and they all left in the end. No matter what, some clues should be left behind.
"Maybe it's really in Penglai Fairyland." He murmured to himself, and only the dojo in the sea was not searched.
Ye Fan went out to sea, riding a dragon horse, and brought along Zhang Qingyang, Youwei Yu and other disciples. This time they insisted on going together, thinking that Ye Fan was going to hunt for treasure like exploring Kunlun. "Shan Hai Jing" records that there are three fairy mountains on the sea, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. The mountains are fairylands and there are elixir of life.
These three fairy mountains have been very famous since ancient times, and they are called the oriental fairyland. After their rise, they have the potential to replace West Kunlun. When folks mention fairyland, they know more about Penglai and less about Kunlun.
The blue sea is full of waves, the waves are magnificent, and it is boundless. Only by entering the sea can you know this vastness, which can make people let go of their minds.
"Master, is there really a dragon palace in this sea, can we be guests?" Yan Xiaoyu had a whim.
"Even if there are a few flood dragons, if you want to enter the real dragon's cave as a guest, the non-gu emperor will not have such a big face." Long Ma said disdainfully.
A few years have passed, and its arrogance has not changed at all, but when it encounters a powerful human saint, it has to coil up even if it is a dragon, so there is no trouble.
They went out to sea for half a month and still found nothing. They didn't know where Penglai Xianshan was, but they found a dilapidated ancient cave, which had long been submerged by sea water.
Ye Fan had no choice. The fairy mountains in the sea were the most difficult to find, and they had no connection with the monks on land, leaving only some legends.
"It should be in the Bohai Sea." Ye Fan said to himself, spreading out his powerful spiritual search, trying to find anomalies and capture the aura of the ancient magic circle. There is a record in "Historical Records": "Ziwei, Xuan, and Yanzhao send people into the sea to seek the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. They are said to be in the Bohai Sea, and they are not far away. When the disease comes, the boat will be led away by the wind. Those who have tasted it, the immortals and the medicine of immortality are all there."
"boom!"
Suddenly, the waves in the distance rose tens of feet high, and then a huge vortex appeared, trying to drag Ye Fan and the others into it.
"It's a sea clam!" Yan Xiaoyu exclaimed.
Under the sea, an old clam with a length of several tens of feet opened its shell and swallowed the sky and the earth, causing strong winds on the sea and trying to swallow them.
This is an old demon who has sensed the spiritual energy of several people. If he swallows it, it will be of great benefit to him, so he launched a shipwreck, intending to catch several people.
"It's rare to meet an old demon who has practiced for more than 800 years and is in the secret realm of transforming dragons." Ye Fan said.
Zhan Yifan didn't say anything, he sacrificed his flying sword, and it turned into a blazing brilliance to split the sea. Immediately, there was a huge wave, cutting out a trench hundreds of feet long, forcing the sea to both sides.
"Clang!"
However, the old clam is not ordinary, its Taoism is very profound, it is very good, the clam shell opened up, a total of eighteen Sea God Pearls flew out, and they actually stabilized the void.
Zhan Yifan struggled and was almost robbed, the seven swords united, cut a way out, and escaped with difficulty, showing a look of shock. Over the years, under Ye Fan's protection, he has survived several thunder calamities, and in the secret realm of transforming dragons, few people can make things difficult for him.
"It's a dragon clam, with life-giving magic beads, no wonder its strength is extraordinary." Ye Fan showed surprise. Inside the clam shell was an old dragon-shaped clam, and the eighteen magic beads were pearls ground from its flesh and blood. It has grown up to this day This level has long been a spiritual fusion, comparable to ancient dharma beads.
Long Xiaoque made a move, he was also a member of the demon clan, he knew very well where the old clam's weakness was, and when it came up, a long rainbow pierced through the clam's shell, with a monstrous aura, beating its vitals.
"Keng"
The eighteen magic beads were dazzling, stirring up boundless waves. Long Bang is an old demon who has practiced for many years, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
However, how could Ye Fan allow it to escape, a wisp of maternal energy shot out from between his brows, weighing more than Mount Tai, pressing it down on the spot, and the clam shells made cracking sounds.
"Shangxian, please forgive me, the little demon is ignorant and shouldn't offend." The old clam's soul was desperate, and he never expected to meet such a person who surpassed the ancient leader in this dharma-ending era.
"If you want to survive, tell us where Penglai Xianshan is." Huang Tiannv smiled, although she had a peerless beauty, her body was full of murderous aura.
Ye Fan nodded, this old clam is not a kind person, even if he doesn't cut off his whole body, he still has to give a good warning, and it would be best if he could find out where the fairyland is.
"I don't know, the Three Immortals Mountain in the sea is too mysterious, there is no way to find it, otherwise the old clam would have gone to seek refuge. I heard that there is a lot of vitality, and it has not dried up since ancient times."
"Then what's the use of you, instead of continuing to cause harm to the sea area, it's better to kill it directly." Huang Tiannv showed her murderous intentions and threatened the old demon.
"Several immortals, please forgive me. Although I don't know, I can provide some clues." Lao Bang begged for mercy.
In the end, it led several people to a cave in the sea. The underwater world is very hazy, but this place is filled with precious brilliance, which is crystal clear.
This is a palace, built with all kinds of beautiful and transparent corals, engraved with many magic circles and dao marks, it is a very old water palace, with some small monsters such as fish and shrimp gathered.
The master of the palace is a seahorse spirit, and he has lived for fifteen hundred years. He is the overlord of this sea world, and all creatures in the four seas must respect him together.
The real body of the old hippocampus could be hundreds of feet long, and he turned into a red-haired Taoist to greet him. He was very polite. His spiritual sense was sharp and powerful, and he felt the fear of Ye Fan and the dragon horse, and he was terrified.
Ye Fan directly explained the purpose of coming, and asked where Penglai was. If the overlord in the sea didn't know, then there was really nothing to do, and he could only retreat.
"The little old man does know, but that place is too scary. There is an ancient killing formation in the water. I failed to pass several times and cannot enter the island." Old Haima reminded kindly.
"It's okay, just tell us the Palace Master." Ye Fan was also very polite, talking to him with a smile.
In the end, the old seahorse personally led the way and led them into a mysterious sea area, which ordinary people would not be able to approach at all and would bypass inexplicably. And they are very human beings, and when they approached here, they felt a burst of murderous intent, and as soon as they touched it, they would be slashed with swords reaching the sky.
"The little old man can only be brought here, and dare not go deep." Old Haima said.
"Thank you, Palace Master." Ye Fan earnestly expressed his gratitude, and strode forward with a few disciples, his tripod hanging above his head, hanging down endless maternal energy, covering them, and letting thousands of spells and supernatural powers attack them Come, take it all.
In the rear, the old seahorse was stunned, almost petrified, and muttered: "The ancient leader is far behind. Could this be the lord of heaven on land?"
Ye Fan rode on a dragon horse, with tens of thousands of silk ribbons hanging down from the tripod on his head, and ten thousand dharma did not touch his body. He led a few people straight into this mysterious sea area as if they had entered no one's land.
"This ancient magic circle is really huge. I have traveled hundreds of miles, but I haven't broken through it yet." You Weiyu was secretly dumbfounded.
"It's too slow to walk like this, look at me!" Longma became impatient, feeling that Ye Fan's disciples were not moving fast enough. Its four hooves glowed brightly, and suddenly the flames shot up into the sky, and a road of flames appeared on the blue sea. lead to the distance.
With a long roar, the dragon horse carried Ye Fan forward, almost knocking off the little pine on the horse's buttocks. The little thing had quick hands and eyes, grabbed the horse's tail, and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Qingyang, Youweiyu, Zhan Yifan and the others could not help being drawn by a flame, and walked along the avenue of fire, flying as if being pulled by someone.
"This dragon horse is really powerful, and only the master can subdue it. This is the fire light god escape technique in ancient legends. It reaches the extreme. All kinds of magic can't get close to you. You can travel in the sun and the moon, and even the ancient magic circle can't stop it. .”
Several of Ye Fan's disciples all changed their colors. According to legend, those who can perform this technique must have the blood power that is unsurpassed in the world.
The dragon and horse galloped for 800 miles, the avenue of fire was pressing on the water waves, and all kinds of ancient Dao marks could not get close to them, and they could not stop them. Even if the most violent killing came occasionally, it would be dissolved by the cauldron of the mother energy of all things.
Finally, with a hazy celestial aura, a huge island appeared in front of it, standing tall in the sea, setting off the surrounding area with glowing rays of light and colorful auspicious colors.
"Finally found it." Ye Fan whispered, this place should be Penglai Xianshan.
Whether it is "Shan Hai Jing" or "Historical Records", it is mentioned that the three fairy mountains in the sea of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou have elixir, whether it is true or not, it is enough to infer their extraordinaryness.
When Ye Fan and the others landed on the island, they had to lament that the island was so huge that it was almost comparable to a continent. Even the cold-tempered Long Xiaoque couldn't help saying that maybe one more continent could be considered.
When they left the coast and went hundreds of miles deep, they were even more stunned. Besides some towns, they also saw several ancient cities.
There are many residents on the island. This is an ancient world, and there is no difference in clothing and living habits from the pre-Qin period in China.
"The aura on this island is so abundant that it has not been affected by the doomed age!" They couldn't help but be shocked.
In the barren mountains and wild ridges, on the cliffs, the energy is pervasive, and the elixir can be found, just like in ancient times, the rare herbs and precious medicines were not extinct, and were discovered from time to time.
Ye Fan asked people, and learned that there is only one cult of cultivating immortals on the island, which has the same name as the island, and its name is Penglai.
"Several Shangxians, Penglai Xianshan is far away from here, but a little Tianzun sits in a holy city not far away, you can visit him first." A kind woodcutter pointed out.
Ye Fan and the others thanked them. They wanted to go directly to Penglai Xianshan, but they didn't know the way, so they had to go to the holy city first.
"Their tone is really not small, and they call themselves Tianzun. Could it be that they have the strength of a master?" Several disciples discussed.
This holy city is magnificent, tall and majestic, and the city gate is guarded by monks. Seeing Ye Fan coming on a dragon horse, he was shocked and reported to the inside, alarming the so-called little heavenly god, who went up to the tower to watch.
"It's him!"
Zhang Qingyang immediately changed his color and stared at the young man in the city. Four years ago, this person beat him seriously, demolished a building in the heavenly courtyard, and burned Ye Fan's statue.
"Who am I? It turned out to be you. Have you disbanded the Heavenly Court?" The young man above the city gate said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You really don't deserve to use this name. Get rid of those statues of the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible." Burn it clean."
